2.1.2. Balanced AES, DARS and Analog Audio Connections
DARS/AES/ANALOG: These 16 pin terminal strips are for connecting the balanced version of
the AES and DARS signals as well as two balanced analog audio signals. The
output cables can be secured into the removable portion of the terminal strips
using a small screwdriver. The removable part of the terminal strip is then
inserted into the rear panel and secured using the hold down screws. The pinout
of these connectors is shown in Table
2-1.
DARS + AES2 + AES1 + GND GND GND RIGHT - RIGHT +
DARS - AES2- AES1 - GND GND GND LEFT - LEFT +

2.1.3. Linear Time Code, Syncro and GPIO Connections
AUX I/O: These two 15 pin male ‘D’ connectors contain GPI inputs and outputs and two
LTC outputs from the 5601MSC units and should be connected to the AUX I/O
Connectors on the respective 5601MSC units using the straight through 15 pin
cables provided. The pinout of the AUX I/O connector is as follows:
Pin # Name Description
LTC 1 + output from 5601MSC
LTC 2 + output from 5601MSC
GPO 1 output from 5601MSC
GPO 2 output from 5601MSC
LTC 1 – output from 5601MSC
LTC 2 - output from 5601MSC
Note that on the B connector, 8 is TX from B, and 9 is TX to A.

LTC 1 OUT, LTC 2 OUT: These two male XLR connectors provide the balanced LTC1 and LTC2
time code outputs from the changeover.
ACO CTRL/STATUS: The top row of the 16 pin terminal strip has two GPI inputs to control the
5601ACO2 and two GPI Outputs that provide tallies to indicate the status of the
5601ACO2.
